But the quiet grows and grows. Beautifully and unbearably.
Aldous Huxley
Image
When the sun rises, it rises for everyone.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The creation by word-power of something out of nothing--what is that but magic? And, may I add, what is that but literature?
Aldous Huxley

Most loverspicture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else--their own invention. And sometimes there is a secret reality and sometimes reality and appearance are the same. The discovery, in either case, is likely to cause a shock.
Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley
Image
Facts are ventriloquist’s dummies. Sitting on a wise man’s knee they may be made to utter words of wisdom elsewhere, they say nothing, or talk nonsense, or indulge in sheer diabolism.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe.
Aldous Huxley
Image
To be a fool at the right time is also an art.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning, truth and beauty can't.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Peace is a necessary condition of spirituality, no less than an inevitable result of it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Give us this day our daily Faith, but deliver us, dear God, from Belief.
Aldous Huxley
